Whether you’re new in business, thinking of setting one or already in the game for quite some time now, I bet that most of the time you’re wondering how you can gain (more of) the clients you want. Perhaps the following questions may even sound familiar to you….

“I am more competent than she is, how come she gets the assignment and I don’t?

“I have all the right competencies for the job, but why is it that my target clients don’t see it and choose the other over me?

“I am working so hard, but by the end of the day I don’t get to earn a decent living. How is that possible?
